In a little more than a year, the price oil has gone down 60%, from $100/barrel to around $40/ barrel. Our gas prices have gone down 25%. Where has the rest gone? I'll give you a hint, it's not to the oil companies.
Governor Brown will be prancing around Paris this week telling everyone how California is leading on climate change. Do you know how he's doing this? By stiffing each of us $1/ gallon.
This is a Regressive Tax
Where are Liberals and Progressives when you really need them? This is a regressive tax. It hurts poor and working class people more than it hurts the Hollywood or Silicon Valley elites. Do you think this is hurting Barbara Streisand's bottom line? Or the folks at Google?
More With Less?
Look at your water bill. How much has it gone up recently? They are making us stop watering our yards, then they charge us more for our water. The hippies have been pushing their 'more with less' ethic for forty years and this is what we get. Watch your power bills. Their next. There's a cost for all this green energy. There's a cost for all those wind turbines that were built and then let sit idle. You know who's going to pay for that.
I have said before I agree we have a mandate to care for the planet, in fact a divine mandate. But, when things are this badly handled it only breeds cynicism.
PS-the roads in Arizona are in great shape. It is amazing what you can accomplish when you use road tax money to fix roads instead of squandering it.
